Minor heavy-weight italic lowercase s design issues #1592

Closed pv4 closed 1 year ago

pv4 commented 1 year ago

If magnificated, the lowercase latin s has two pixel steps (a little bit misaligned borders) on its neck: image If you don't see the issue, please, increase the image so that you see every pixel.

U+1D668 has the same issue (the top right mark), and two little prominences (the other two marks) image This one is better visible if watching at middle size. Looking at it so that every pixel is visible, prevents the prominences from being noticable.

The third issue is not an issue, just a minor design change between 16.3.6 and 18.0.0: image IMHO the first variant (with S-like neck) is better than the new one with a straight neck. If it's not an intentional change due to design decision, could it be possible please to make the letter looking more like to how it did before?

Finally, this is the last issue from me related to 18.0.0 version (all of them except one I re-checked against the version currently available at typeof.net, I guess it's 20.0.0).

I hope you won't hate me for creating so much work for you. But it was a hard work for me too and I hope it will make Iosevka a little bit better.

Anyway, I'd like to repeat: Iosevka is my favorite font, I use it in text editors/ides/terminals (fixed width custom build), gtk/kde ui interfaces (quasi-proportional custom build), everywhere whery possible. I like it's character support. It's an amazing font!

Thank you so much for the great work you did creating Iosevka!
